Description

This book is a set of theoretical, historical and analytical inquiries into the growth and practice of the short story in Canada and New Zealand. Even to call it a 'set' of inquiries is to describe some of the paradoxes that accompany the topic - paradoxes that derive both from the particular literary form and from the particular societies in question.
